Path integral in the representation of SU(2) coherent state and classical dynamics in a generalized phase space

Abstract

Path integral in the representation of coherent state for the simplest semisimple Lie group SU(2) and its classical consequences are investigated. Using the completeness relation of the coherent state, we derive a path integral expression for the transition amplitude which connects a pair of SU(2) coherent states. In the classical limit we arrive at a canonical equation of motion in a ’’curved phase space’’ (two-dimensional sphere) which reproduces the ordinary Euler’s equation of a rigid body when applied to a rotator.

Coherent states in complex variables and classical dynamics

Yousef Yousefi, Х. Х. Муминов

It was studied coherent states in complex variables in SU(2), SU(3), SU(4) groups and in general in SU(n) group. Using the completeness relation of the coherent state, we obtain a path integral expression for transition amplitude which connects a pair of SU(n) coherent states. In the classical limit, a canonical equation of motion is obtained.

Coherent states in real parameterization up to SU(5) and classical dynamics of spin systems

Khikmat Kh. Muminov, Yousef Yousefi

In this paper, we develop the formulation of the spin coherent state in real parameterization up to SU(5). The path integral in this representation of coherent state and its classical consequence are investigated. Using the resolution of unity of the coherent state, we derive a path integral expression for transition amplitude and in the classical limit we derive the classical equation of motion.

SU(2) COHERENT STATE PATH INTEGRALS LABELED BY A FULL SET OF EULER ANGLES: BASIC FORMULATION

MASAO MATSUMOTO

We develop a basic formulation of the spin (SU(2)) coherent state path integrals based not on the conventional highest or lowest weight vectors but on arbitrary fiducial vectors. The coherent states, being defined on a 3-sphere, are specified by a full set of Euler angles. They are generally considered as states without classical analogues. The overcompleteness relation holds for the states, by which we obtain the time evolution of general systems in terms of the path integral representation; the resultant Lagrangian in the action has a monopole-type term à la Balachandran et al. as well as some additional terms, both of which depend on fiducial vectors in a simple way. The process of the discrete path integrals to the continuous ones is clarified. Complex variable forms of the states and path integrals are also obtained. During the course of all steps, we emphasize the analogies and correspondences to the general canonical coherent states and path integrals that we proposed some time ago. In this paper we concentrate on the basic formulation. The physical applications as well as criteria in choosing fiducial vectors for real Lagrangians, in relation to fictitious monopoles and geometric phases, will be treated in subsequent papers separately.

Path integral for new coherent states of Lie superalgebra osp(1/2, R)

Xin Chen, Le‐Man Kuang

A path integral formulation in the representation of new coherent states for the Lie superalgebra osp(l/2, R) is introduced. By the use of the completeness relation of the new coherent states, a path integral expression for the transition amplitude between two osp(l/2, R) new coherent states for a Hamiltonian which is linear in the generators of the superalgebra are obtained. In the classical limit the equations of motion for the system are derived.

H. A. Schmitt, A. Mufti

A path integral formulation in the representation of coherent states for the non-compact supergroup Osp(1/2, R) is introduced. An expression for the transition amplitude connecting two Osp(1/2, R) coherent states is constructed, and the corresponding canonical equations of motion derived. A set of generalized Poisson brackets is introduced and interpreted.
